Oh Shit...

First and foremost, I apologize for the lack of posting from the end of the last tour. I will get those up tomorrow. I'm going to be a sneaky bastard though and put them in BEFORE this post, so if you are reading this after tomorrow, it's going to seem like I didn't miss a beat.

But for the real reason of the title, we are on our way to Louisville, KY right now, and in southern Indiana, we drove through a bit of a tornado or something. Anyway, a huge gust of wind hit us and ripped the awning completely off. It then bounced off the roof of the bus, and landed a couple lanes over, which a car proceeded to run into, and the awning pierced the front bumper and slammed into the radiator, completely destroying it. So after an hour and a half or so of sitting on the side of the road waiting for the police to come and do a damage report, we got back on the road. Surprisingly, other than the whole no-awning thing, there isn't any visible damage to the bus.

Here's a video with my double chin explaining more:

The end of the beginning

Well the last show on tour #1 is over, we had a great time! Last night we partied with Egypt Central back at the hotel, got a lesson in cannonballs from the drummer, and drank way too much. Green Bay is an awesome town, if any of you guys are reading this, you guys kick ass!
Enough delay, here's some pics:

Final Day

Hi everyone. Our internet has been patchy the last couple days, so getting online was tough! We're at a gas station somewhere north of Milwaukee on our way to Green Bay right now. We met up with Egypt Central last night, and are traveling up the road with them. Those guys can really rock out. We made a 4:30am stop at Arby's and had some breakfast.
The show in Saginaw was awesome, the place was packed! From there we played to a roaring crowd of 15 in Put-N-Bay. Last night in Lima made up for it. There were hundreds, and I met a few new friends! That's always a good thing. Pictures to follow when we get to the hotel.
